The preparation and characterisation of ruthenium cyanovinylidene complexes§

Abstract

Reactions of half-sandwich ruthenium metal acetylide complexes with 1-cyano-4-dimethylaminopyridinium salts afford complexes containing mono- or di-cyanovinylidene ligands; the procedure can be adapted to permit the simple synthesis of a cyanoacetylide complex, via the in situ deprotonation of a primary cyanovinylidene complex.
